  Review:

  I visited Shanlea a couple of months ago & absolutely loved my hair when it was done. I found the whole experience great - we took our time discussing how best to cut my hair & colour it. I have long wavy hair that can sometimes get too frizzy - Shanlea took her time cutting my hair so the curls are just right & showed me how I could style my hair at home to maximize the curls & minimize the frizz. I also picked up some really great hair products that have made a huge difference. Been loving my hair since - this is by far the best hair salon experience - hands down.

  Review:

  I don't actually live in Toronto, but my sister does, and mentioned that Curl Ambassadors was close to her apartment. I haven't had a hair cut in over a year because I've been paranoid that someone would destroy my curls. But I decided to treat myself and it was the best salon experience I ever had. My hair was a mess - dry, bad ends, and no shape. Keina gave me a deep conditioning treatment, cut my hair wet (to remove the ends) and dry (to shape). I left there with a "curl map" to recreate the effect at home, and I have to say that I have been successful. It was really great to have someone able to teach me in person how to carry out some of the tips I've read about over the years. I would definitely return!

  Fab!!! I was very anxious trying out a new salon/stylist, but A really knew what she was doing. She gave me a great haircut and showed me step by step how to style my hair. I am on second day hair and it looks great which has only happened once or twice in my life! And this is 3mths after my last texturizer (I am weaning myself off the creamy crack)!

  Review:

  I wanted to try and see if there was a difference going to a salon that specialized in curly hair, to see if they cut my hair any different. So i asked around and came across Curl Ambassadors. I figured if they are really good, I do not mind spending $85 every 3 months or so on my hair. So I went to the Toronto location and have regretted it ever since.The hairdresser I got really did spend time on my hair, but she really didn't listen to what I wanted at all. She started off cutting my hair dry, then took me to the back and applied all this various products, then took pains to dry my hair into ringlets and then snipped here and there. Although the curls looked great, i couldn't help thinking It was flatter than before and I didn't really get the layers i wanted. So I purchased the $30 shampoo hoping it would improve the frizziness and texture of my hair. Now I ask myself, seriously, what curly hair doesn't have atleast some sort of frizz?!?!?! I have to say I am very disappointed with the cut. I regret going there and losing my lion mane hair of curls. My hair no longer has the shape it used to. It looks flat and like I just came in from the rain. Absolutely no layers. At one point, I asked her if there was a reason why my hair shed so often and she said, after the cut it should stop shedding (I dont know what i was thinking, but I actually gave her the benefit of the doubt). I've actually stopped getting compliments for my hair...makes sense...cause it looks terribly average, despite my using the $30 shampoo and my Aveda mousse! I'm better off going to the basement lady and paying her $12 to get my hair looking the way it used to...thick, full and gorgeously curly!

  Review:

  This was my first real curly-cut (and colour), and I am beyond happy with it! Angela explained every step she did with my hair and why she did it from styling to product application and the actual cut. It was fantastic to be at a salon that embraces curls and understands that we WANT to have them and not have them straightened into oblivion. The curl map provided at the end of my appointment has been so helpful in deciding what products to purchase and how to style my hair to make it look like I just left the salon. The products were not forced onto me at all, and I was provided with options to get at the drugstore in addition to the more expensive products that are carried at the salon. This visit also encouraged me to do research and begin the curly girl routine, so I can't wait to see how my hair responds! The only downside is that it's a little pricey, but it's definitely worth it for the expertise provided.

  Review:

  I thought I'd had a good cut for curly hair until I saw Keina this past Friday. I didn't know it was possible to make sure a huge difference to how my hair looks and feels, without going to a drastically different style. (like long to short) Keina kept my hair long, but cut off enough to allow it to be healthy and then worked some kind of magic with the front and top that took me from long curtain of heavy hair (with a flat top) to happy bouncy non-flattop hair. She also suggested some products, explaining why, and how to use them every step of the way. The products weren't cheap, but man, I could feel the difference. Generally I'm a drugstore shopper on that front, but now I'm a convert. I've even reproduced her amazing styling successfully myself using those same products and the techniques she described. I have to say, the products were more expensive at the start, but you only need to use a tiny bit of them (even in my mass of hair) so i think things might even out a bit in the long run. Anyhow - if you have curly hair, that you wear curly, and you like for your hair to feel soft and look not frizzy, but actually nice and sproingy and curly - then go here!

  Review:

  Just had another AMAZING cut/colour from the ladies at The Curl Ambassadors - always love the way my hair looks and feels after my appointment. It's so refreshing to go to a salon that respects what you already know about your curls - and adds the latest techniques and newest/best products to improve your hair's natural look and feel. I always value their knowledge and experience and my hair has never looked better! I have been to both locations and have seen 2 awesome stylists (Kamie - Vaughan and Shanlea - Harbord). Thanks for the amazing curls and wonderful service ladies!

  Review:

  I started going to The Curl Ambassadors (downtown location)about a year and a half ago. I was skeptical. Any hairdresser I had come in contact with up to that point always spoke and acted like they knew my hair better than I did. And, like many other curly haired people, I believed them and was left with a frizzy, unmanageable disaster to tame. I went for a curly-doo, initially just looking for new product; which I love. When my old hairdresser told me she was taking off to Italy indefinitely, I began conducting "interviews" for my new hairdresser. Angela got the "job". Angela, listened to my concerns (read fears) about cut, color, cost, basically any sort of change (the change I really wanted but thought I would never be able to have because of my curls); every time I had previously attempted a change, I received a frizzy, puffy, uneven, uncontrollable mess (which usually resembled a triangle),unless it was hard as a helmet with gel. My hair was in the middle of my back when I began seeing Angela. Just a couple of weeks ago, with a knotted stomach and a pale face, and after nightmares of a horrific outcome, Angela (with my go ahead)chopped it off (when dry, it sits above my shoulders). It was the best decision I've made in years. I've loved my hair and always took the time to make it the best I possibly could. But, I NEVER imagined it would be THIS awesome. This time, instead of feeling like the same person that came from a "just another trim" hair appointment, I literally walked out with the biggest grin on my face.Who knew that I'd leave the salon that day with half the amount of hair, feeling sexy, attractive and confident (with no makeup on and in a jogging suit and runners); a shiny new version of myself only a hundred times better? Everyone at this salon, is friendly(I asked everyone's opinion before and after I decided to have my hair chopped off)and I honestly just kept thinking, "like every other place I've been to, they probably don't care what I do with my hair" and perhaps they don't. But they ABSOLUTELY care that I LOVE my hair regardless of what it looks like. Their priority is that you are happy with it. Angela called me a few days following my big chop, to see if I still loved it. No hairdresser or stylist has ever followed up with me and knowing that she cared enough to call, made my entire week. It took me a while to trust them, but they take the time to make sure you're comfortable and happy. Some may find them a bit pricey, but, waking up every day with the best hair you've ever had is worth every cent! In Angela, I trust!!

  Review:

  I tried the new location in Vaughan as it was closer to me. Although the stylist did not seen confident in her skills (which terrified me!).. I like the end product (could use a few "tweaks" though). She cut my hair dry, then wet, then dry again. My only real issue .. the price! Is $85 for a haircut a bit ridiculous or is it just me??? Apparently this new location is charging $10 more than their downtown location!
